Dahi Phulki is a savory dish made of gram flour dumplings dipped in a spicy yogurt dip. Dahi Phulki is little different from Dahi Vada, with slight change on ingredients but it tastes as good as Dahi Bhalle. It is very light & refreshing. It is prepared very easily as this recipe doesn't involve soaking & grinding of Dal as we do for Dahi Vada. Today, I am going to share two ways of serving this- One is Dahi Phulki with tempering & another one is Dahi Phulki Chaat. It tastes wonderful both ways. Dahi Phulki with tempering tastes amazing with Pulao or Biryani. Here is the recipe with step by step instructions, Photos & tips.
